Following a chapter on the convoluted legal history of dietary supplements in the US, monographs provide evidence-based information on 23 popular non-herbal supplements (some no longer sold as such) from androstenedione to vanadyl sulfate. Tracy (West Virginia U., Morgantown) and Cupp, PharmD, presumably also at this campus, review each supplement's history; current promoted uses; sources and chemical composition; available products, quality, and regulatory status; pharmacokinetics; adverse effects and toxicity; drug interactions; and reproduction-related effects. An appended chart summarizes selected data. Contributors' affiliations are not provided. Intended as a companion to Toxicology and clinical pharmacology of herbal products (presumably published by Humana, date not given), whose table of contents is listed.Copyright 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
